Julie Roginsky , a Democratic Political analyst , and voter for John Edwards in 2004 , has just dropped a bombshell on the Edwards campaign . Apparently(and yes I did watch him say it) John Edwards called upon all Democratic Candidates to refuse and return any monies they made from Rupert Murdoch and his holdings. . FoxNews , Newscorp , etc . He did this in an attempt to make other Democratic candidates look bad . . . but John screwed-up this time . Seems he forgot about the almost 1 million dollars that HE took from Rupert Murdoch !!!
Yep . A half a million for his book deal from Murdoch's holdings and a suspicious $300,000 in unknown expenses . He promised Murdoch that he would give the $300,000 to charity , but now when asked to prove that he did , he won't . His campaign advisors were invited to the show but declined to account for his words .
Would It Be Premature To Say " Put A Fork In Him , He's Done "?

No , Edwards didn't say HE would do it , he didn't remember that he already did , and was clearly making the comments to bash his opponents . Find the clip and watch it . It's way too long to post on here but you'll see !!!

Beren - Thank you for that . Ya see , The Washington Post was another news source that asked him to prove it , but he refused . Hence no story from them YET !!!

I've read the article and it appears that the pretty boy has a bad memory. $300000 is a lot of money for staffers and vendors and of course charity. There should be receipts for all of that money, so if he were truly forthcoming he would start producing check stubs (also that he took taxes out, we would want a case of tax fraud) and a receipt from the charitable institution, since that too is tax deductible. These records should be easily retrieved.

John Edwards was done looooong before this. I never liked Edwards, even as a democrat. He's part of the reason why Kerry lost in '04 and he couldnt have looked any much happier at Kerry's conceding speech in Boston. He's a two-sided, selfish hypocrite, who claims to fight for the struggling middle class and yet, lavishly spent his 400$ dollars on his haircut. God, I hope he doesnt hurt the party, any more than he already did.

I think the Breck Girl and his wife Marie Antoinette have been done for awhile with their fake two America talks, the comments on his being better in-tune with women than Hillary,the "don't cry for me tangerine story line", and his general full blown "dove" status when it comes to defending this country. Even though he is third in most polls I think if the top two (Hillary and Obama) fall another Democratic candidate will enter the first place status not Mr one term senator.

All candidates make at least one mistake in their campaigns. The real issue, in my opinion, is will Fox News admit that they HAVE been attacking Dmocrats for years? Yes he has made money off of Rupert Murdoch BUT does that give Fox the right to taunt him and Democrats as they always do? Just because he has made money off of them does not mean he cannot disagree.

Apparently some of the people answering don't get it. Imagine my surprise! So the guy's condemning other people in his party for something that he simply forgot he has done himself ? Why am I not surprised? Yeah Edwards is done. So is Obama after this week when he said he would invade Pakistan and nukes are "off the table". The guy is a political infant. Someone change his diapers and put him to bed.

HAHHAHAHHAHAHHA. Well until I read this I actually thought he would stand the best shot at the presidency.... Polls show that generally America is not ready for a woman president (especially with Hillarys credentials, but maybe Condi...), and we aren't diverse enough to accept a black president, unfortunately. Edwards fit the cookie-cutter mold- white, male, good looking, rich, democrat. But now he's gonna bust out the famous Democratic flip-flops when he brings his reply to the news.
The more important question... now that we know that a Republican will be elected because of poor choice of the democratic side... which one would you like? I think Mitt Romney stands the best chance...

Obama did not get OBL. military SEALs did that. Obama gave the pass forward, and for that I provide him credit. i could care much less concerning the start certificates as I in no way puzzled his citizenship.

I think the whole "he's done" thing works. What about his "you're poor" tour? Man, Edwards just keeps getting further and further behind. Poor guy

First tier Dems and Repubs, it don't matter they are all on the take and the second tier are close behind. Does it matter. Just try to pick the one less evil.
